Description

This thematic unit is choc-full of activities designed to promote conceptual understanding of science concepts related to our solar system.

This product is aligned to 5th grade NGSS:

5-PS2-1. Support an argument that the gravitational force exerted by Earth on objects is directed down

5-ESS1-1. Support an argument that differences in the apparent brightness of the sun compared to other stars is due to their relative distances from Earth.

5-ESS1-2: Represent data in graphical displays to reveal patterns of daily changes in length and direction of shadows, day and night, and seasonal appearance of some starts in the night sky.

If you don't use NGSS, this product is appropriate for grades 3-6.

Activities Include:

*Planet Report Pages

*relative distances of planets activity using toilet paper squares

*gravity activities to resolve common misconceptions

*investigation of mass and weight on different planets

*creation of a sun dial to help students understand shadows and the movement of the Earth in relation to the sun

*Layers of the Atmosphere activity

*Making a model to understand moon phases

*Analyzing Data of Sunrise and Sunset

*Investigating Constellations

*Individual planet pages for reports or interactive notebooks

*Task Cards with or without QR codes for centers and independent review of the unit

*An end of unit assessment with answer key

Many opportunities to integrate ELA and Common Core Math Standards.

Standards

NGSS5-ESS1-2
Represent data in graphical displays to reveal patterns of daily changes in length and direction of shadows, day and night, and the seasonal appearance of some stars in the night sky. Examples of patterns could include the position and motion of Earth with respect to the sun and selected stars that are visible only in particular months. Assessment does not include causes of seasons.
NGSS5-ESS1-1
Support an argument that differences in the apparent brightness of the sun compared to other stars is due to their relative distances from Earth. Assessment is limited to relative distances, not sizes, of stars. Assessment does not include other factors that affect apparent brightness (such as stellar masses, age, stage).
NGSS5-PS2-1
Support an argument that the gravitational force exerted by Earth on objects is directed down. “Down” is a local description of the direction that points toward the center of the spherical Earth. Assessment does not include mathematical representation of gravitational force.
